Recital 137
Recital 137 of the GDPR, as in force since 25 May 2018. Its key is gdpr-recitals:rec-137.
There may be an urgent need to act in order to protect the rights and freedoms of data subjects, in particular when the danger exists that the enforcement of a right of a data subject could be considerably impeded. A supervisory authority should therefore be able to adopt duly justified provisional measures on its territory with a specified period of validity which should not exceed three months.
